A native of Fonthill, Ontario, Bill Steven had a successful career as a first baseman for the Cavaliers. As a senior, he did not commit an error while posting a .407/.438/.531 slash line at the plate en route to all-conference accolades.

“I’m excited that Coach Steven is a full-time coach, he’s been on staff for five years now and he brings a lot to the program as a coach and from a development standpoint off the field,” remarked Head Baseball Coach Brandon Costa. “I’m looking forward to seeing his continued success with everything he brings to the table.”

As a coach, Steven has been with the program since graduating from UVA Wise in 2016. During that period, the Cavs advanced to postseason play for the first time as a NCAA Division II member when the program won a game in the Mountain East Conference Tournament in 2019.

Steven is certified by Driveline Foundations of Hitting, Foundations of Pitching and Pitch Design.

The coach obtained a bachelor’s degree in accounting and economics from UVA Wise before later adding a master’s degree in sport management from Wingate University in 2019.
